Raspberries and cucumbers together in a smoothie make for a delicious and healthy breakfast option. Enjoy this Raspberry Cucumber Protein Smoothie today!
Raspberry Cucumber Smoothie
Raspberries are in season and priced decently right now, so I am loving adding them to my smoothies! You all know that I use carrots and cucumbers a lot for my vegetable part of my smoothie recipes – they are delicious and I have yet to find a smoothie they haven’t tasted great it!
So, for this smoothie I have carrots, cucumbers, some banana, coconut water, and those amazing looking raspberries to my blender. SO GOOD!
Here are some of the health benefits to the ingredients I selected for this raspberry protein smoothie:
Raspberries – These beautiful berries are rich in vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. They also have a high concentration of ellagic acid which has been said to help prevent cancer.
Cucumbers – These are great for rehydration. Cucumbers are also a great source of vitamin B, so that means they are a natural pick-me-up.
Carrots – The orange powerfood will give you vitamin A and is also linked to preventing cancer, giving you healthier looking skin and aids in digestion.
Bananas – Besides tasting great, they are loaded with potassium which helps muscles recover and relax, and they have also been known to help you sleep better.
The result is a refreshing and absolutely delicious smoothie! So go ahead, make this Raspberry Cucumber Smoothie, sit back and ENJOY!
